dictionary - Scala map split input to int and string? -

normally if reading line of input stdin looks "100 200" can store them both ints line:

val array(a, b) = readline.split(" ").map(_.toint); 

but if a integer , b string?

you cannot store values of different types homogeneous container such array. if know cardinality, store them in separate variables.

val input = "100 foo" val array(a, b) = input.split(" ")  val p1 = scala.util.try(a.toint) val p2 = b 

i used scala.util.try because toint may fail , throw exception
